Being jobless after the company had a massive layoff has not been easy for Matsugo Isamu. The most difficult thing was keeping the secret from his wife and two kids. His pride wouldn’t let him accept that he wasn’t able to provide for his own family, but when the time came when he could no longer keep it a secret, he reunites with Randake Shiro. They were old thrill seeking high school buddies, but where Isamu gave that up when he grew up, Isamu stayed an adrenaline junkie. Isamu works under the name Absurd and is known for filming impossible footage that no one else would dare to capture like driving 200mph to chase a phantom driver or secret yakuza transactions. With no other method of providing income to his family, Isamu is forced to be Absurd’s partner. [vyc]
